Monday Funeral<\/a><\/p>\nPositive Comments: <\/b>I really, really like this. In terms of vocals, I’m extremely impressed. I hear singers try to do the somewhat casual, indirect, “folk” sound (Neal Young\/Jay Farrar) and it fails. I think they go for it, because it seems easy. BUT IT’S NOT. On the word “abide” early in the song, I knew I was listening to someone who knows how to sing. You use pure vowels when you need to, to really hit and hold notes, but being able to go back to a more spoken, folk sound on demand is extremely impressive. The arrangement is perfect. I wouldn’t change anything. I was hoping some drums came in, and they did. I was hoping some slide would come in, and it did. The bridge was good. Really, I’m extremely impressed. This is a genre and “style” that a lot of hacks try to mimic. The assumption is there is no need for technical skill at guitar, writing, or singing. What they miss, is it’s a lot harder, because there is no smoke and mirrors. It’s genuine, real songwriting and singing. And you nail it in my mind.<\/p>\n
Constructive Comments: <\/b>The section 3:10 – 3:20, which I love the note and line on “dawn lights the sky” as well as the “will you still be here” I feel like it could be built a bit more. I would like to hear a vocal harmony, matching the lead singers intensity on those bigger notes. ESPECIALLY on the “will you still be here.” I’m also wondering if adding piano in this section, to help add a new level of drive in motion before returning to the refrain would help? Piano could then be part of the song through the end. In fairness, I listened to the song again to find something to be constructive. The song is very good and I’m a fan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
